News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

[baldandbroke]

Exactly, 12 & 18 back is ridiculous and someone should be sacked if we do it

I don't mind splitting pick 4 into more good picks if we have specific targets OR it is part of some other trade plan.

But jeepers Pick 4 has a fair bit of worth for our club right now.

 

[Vader]

What?
Its our 4 and 2nd rounder for their 3 mid to late 1st rounders

It's marginal at best when it was just 4 for the 3x late-1sts. It's a terrible deal if we're throwing in a 2nd as well.

 

[Golumless]

Ok yea just looked it up. Do we have access to kids from a certain region?

For indigenous? Yeah real low population density area though in the eastern API lands. Us and Port got screwed out of the metro and Pt Lincoln.

For multicultural we have zones tied to Sturt (how we have Borlase), Centrals, Glenelg and North (we also have them for indigenous as well outside of the aforementioned)

Hately? You guys are drunk.

Hately? You guys are drunk.

Ask me in 2 hours

You're wrong.
Its a good deal if you knew the structure of this draft.

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

According to one of our better ITK posters 'TheRedPill' Ralph has it wrong...he reckons it'll be a future 4th round pick.

Which poster is that? Cos I agree with them.

 

[Vader]

You're wrong.
Its a good deal if you knew the structure of this draft.

It might have been acceptable if it was just pick #4. If we're throwing in a 2nd round pick then it's absolutely awful.

[FAITH]

It might have been acceptable if it was just pick #4. If we're throwing in a 2nd round pick then it's absolutely awful.

You're wrong.
Its a very good deal for us and GWS are only doing it to avoid overpaying for Tom Green.

 

[Morning_Fog]

Don't drink yourself to death.

Don’t follow the sheep.

 

[arsene wenger1]

You're wrong.
Its a good deal if you knew the structure of this draft.

If the structure starts in numerical order then it’s bad

 

[FR0GGY]

What?
Its our 4 and 2nd rounder for their 3 mid to late 1st rounders

What did we trade for 4? 19 and 9

 

[fuic08]

I reckon we did the Carlton swap to pick up Rowell or Anderson and that's blown and we don't rate 4 much higher than players at 10+.

 

[ChilliP]

You're wrong.
Its a very good deal for us and GWS are only doing it to avoid overpaying for Tom Green.

They're not doing it to avoid overpaying, they'd do it to take someone else at 4 then Tom Greene whenever a bid is placed so they potentially end up taking picks 4 & 5 home, go into deficit next season but since they have traded their first away at full value the deficit gets taken from their later picks. They'll probably have academy kids to take next year anyway so it won't hurt them.

It means GWS give themselves the best chance to get 2 elite players in, we give ourselves a good chance to get 3 role players.

 

[Brenton Davy]

I’d probably be the only person on here that actually fancies this trade. Pick 4 doesn’t guarantee a superstar player like some people are suggesting. The difference between 4 and 12 in this draft isn’t actually that big either. The top 20-30 in this draft is quite even except for Rowell and Anderson so even pick 18 will be decent.

Their 2020 first is a bit of an unknown could be anywhere from 10-18 you’d think. Our recent strike rate in the first round has been good too. Think Milera, Doedee, Gallucci and Fogarty.

Nup you’re not alone. I’m on board now with the 2020 first as well.

After all we’ll need something decent to replace MacKay...

 

[feenix67]

Lot of blokes want to play under Ratten it seems.

 

[LoBu]

Don't mind it, especially if it gets us Luko next year, but would prefer to get first rounders with Keath and Greenwood trades bundled with our seconds

If it's a pick exchange only, why on earth would we deal with GWS prior to draft night? Doing anything before comes with a great deal of risk for GWS in that Melbourne could bid for Green at 3.

However, if Melbourne pass on Green at 3, GWS would move heaven and earth to obtain our pick, knowing they could then select another top player and use any later picks to match a bid. Turning 14 and 17 into Green plus another top 5 pick would be pretty appealing for them.

Given this, I would be expecting some pretty serious steak knives coming our way, including 2020 picks.

Only way I would trade before is if it involved Hately or Bonar and was weighted heavily in our favour.

GWS actual have 12 and 18 - Geelong have 14/17
Agree with needing a few player. If we were turning 9 and 19 from last year into Hateley pick 12 and First next year that would be worth while - even if we gave 28 back

 

[1990crow]

Pick 12, 18 and 15 (could end being 20) for 9, 19, 28..
Would anyone here trade 12 and 18 for 9 and 28?


No. Not worth the risk.
We need high end talent. Not mediocre, which is half the reason we are so crap right now.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I would do it for 12, 14 and geelongs 2020 first.

 

[NTRabbit]

next year

Should be the official club motto

We don't have access to the high end talent this year that's the point

 

[LoBu]

Word is that GWS are paying $400k for Bonar next two years and are keen to get him off the books, not first 22 I guess. Hately will be the same but they want him; if we sign Nicks for coach though, surely Hately would be on the happy hour flight from Sydney that afternoon

The only thing that makes me think it's a good idea (2 things actually) is it will probably get us Stephens and Gould as it's right in their zone. Plus it adds a first rounder next year to add to 2 last year and 2 this.

I'd be deferring this one to Hamish.
